Issues of the Day – Eagle County, Colorado

Is "Sun and Ski" coming to Avon?

Some are suggesting, “YES” – Sun and Ski is coming to Avon – and are planning to occupy the old Sports Authority building (now empty) in Avon (Click Here). Avon insiders now concerned that Avon’s current Town Manger SHOULD NOT be involved in any of the final negotiations (read: Parking)…between landlord Traer Creek and prospective tenant – Sun and Ski.

SunandSki.com is a National Sports Retailer known mostly in the Eastern Half of the United States. Avon, Colorado will be their first store west of the Continental Divide – if they move in.

Interestingly Sun and Ski (on their homepage) has a large online Ad for “the Epic Ski Pass” from Vail Resorts…It also turns out that Sun and Ski (already) has a Retail Store in Avon – Avon, Connecticut that is.

Time will Tell – however a National Sports Retailer is good news for every Sports Enthusiast in Eagle County today, particularly when it comes to buying clothing – when compared to buying online.
